At New Jersey Athletic Club (NJAC), we are committed to providing a safe, welcoming, and enjoyable environment for our members and guests. The following policies outline the expectations for all members, guests, and participants while using our facilities and services.

Guest Access

  • Guests must check in at the front desk and complete the necessary waivers before accessing the club. All guests must be accompanied by a member unless otherwise authorized by NJAC.
  • Guests are required to follow the same rules and etiquette as members. Any violation of these policies may result in immediate termination of guest privileges.
  • NJAC reserves the right to limit the number of guests allowed per member and restrict guest access during peak hours or special events.

Waiver of Liability

  • All guests must sign a waiver of liability before using any NJAC facilities or services. By signing the waiver, the guest acknowledges and assumes all risks associated with the use of the club’s facilities, equipment, and services, including but not limited to injuries arising from exercise activities or use of locker rooms, pools, and other areas.
  • NJAC shall not be held liable for any injury, loss, or damage to personal property while guests are on the premises.

Guest Fees

  • NJAC may charge a guest fee for each visit. The fee must be paid at the time of check-in unless a valid guest pass is presented.
  • Fees may vary based on the type of membership held by the sponsoring member or the type of access requested.

Age Restrictions

  • Guests under the age of 18 must have a parent or legal guardian co-sign the waiver and accompany them at all times while using NJAC facilities.
  • Children under the age of 14 are not permitted in certain areas, such as the fitness floor, weight room, and adult classes, unless participating in a specific children’s program.
